I would say they're pretty easy. You don't have to worry about fit or anything, just the height.

For the applique-ing, I usually just topstitch the fleece on. Fleece doesn't fray so nothing more is necessary. If you want to be a bit more professional, a zig-zag stitch or a satin stitch would probably look nicer.

Fairly accurate. If you looked at me in plainclothes two years ago and this year you wouldn't notice the 50lb change. Without clothes the difference would be very noticeable, though.

Depends on materials, detailing (and how they're done), front closure, finishes, etc. I've seen them go for anywhere between $45 and $250. Hipster stores carry the cheap imports for about $65 I think.

Etsy is usually recommended, but it's also quite saturated with kigurumi. You could set up shop there or through Artfire, then advertise up the wazoo on various forums. You'll probably sell more by working on commission than making a bunch of stock.

I'm going to need to work on my calculating skills then because I estimated about half of that.

This is great, I wanted to make my boyfriend a kigu for Christmas but it's so hard to get a pattern for him because he's 6'6". He's wanted one for ages, but because of his size it's got to be custom made. I was going to do one for his birthday, but I was struggling to scale up the pattern I was using (my own kigu, but I'm 5'3"). I can't wait to get started!

Thanks so much for posting tuts! Kigus are stupidly expensive for what they cost to make and I'm excited because now I can make one.
I'm gonna make amonobear one which is great because I think it'll translate very easily into kigu form.

Are you taking into account front and back, which makes it twice as much?

I do. I have this one >>7039810 and a Batman Beyond one. I love them both, but I do have a hard time choosing between the two.

Which character?

>>7054469 is right. I used about I used about 6 yards for mine, but that also included all the yardage for the different colors.

Same person who gave a quote b4, I'd make a plus size kigu I'd probably just have to charge for additional materials but yeah. Again the email is chubscommissions@gmail.com
